When Nicolas Ghesquière debuted the Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Clutch fashionistas took notice. Despite the bags teeny tiny structure and hefty price tag, the Petite Malle Clutch was embraced by handbag lovers and went on to be reiterated season after season. Last year Louis Vuitton released a more wearable version of the Petite Malle at a much more accessible price point. Now, a year later, we have a new bag to add to this lineup: the Louis Vuitton Trunk Chain Wallet.
The newly released Trunk Chain Wallet was of course inspired by the original, the Trunk Clutch. Ghesquière elaborately crafted this design, which, much like the Petite Malle and the Trunk Clutch, features details adapted from Louis Vuitton’s historic trunks. These details include metal studs, an S-lock clasp and a Malletage-pattern lining. While the original version of the Trunk Clutch costs $3,300, this new mini version, which is currently only available in Epi leather, retails for $2,790.
The Louis Vuitton Chain Wallet is comparable in size to other chain wallets. At 7.5″ L x 4.9″ H x 1.4″ W an iPhone X would comfortably fit inside, along with your other essentials. The chain strap is removable so that the bag can be worn cross body, over the shoulder, or strictly as a clutch. Inside, there is a large gusseted compartment, a full zippered pocket and a a flat pocket. Currently both the Black and Rose Epi leather versions are available for purchase via Louis Vuitton.
It’s a bag for someone with a lot of expendable cash, but for me the size is not worth my money.
My friend has one. It’s gorgeous.
I love, Love, love the idea. This is exactly what I have been praying to the LV stars for!!!! Hope they’ll make it in other leathers/canvas though because I do not like this type of striped LV leather at all!
This luxury game has gone way over played. now 3K for a wallet ?
LV is really getting BOLD with these ridiculous ass prices…
It’s super cute but for that price, I would probably pick something from Hermès instead, like a Kelly wallet.
So cute. But the price? Eeek
this is a very cute bag and should be priced in the woc range of $1200
Maybe in monogram canvas with leather trim, and for half the price. Otherwise, cute but not for me. I don’t prefer epi leather, and for that price it’s a hard pass.
Drool drool drool
I just wanna touch that Epi
I would get it but that price…whew. Can’t do it.
beautiful handbags and love all the colors, looks a little like suit case but so damn pretty, wish i were rich tho! If only Louis Vuitton Luxury bags at low prices existed…
